A simple approach to life, home, family and style

This is seriously THE best oatmeal muffin recipe ever. (And I should know because I’m a muffin girl and I’ve tried a lot of them).

Besides the taste, the best thing about this muffin is that it’s made in only one bowl. One bowl equals less cleanup – always a plus in my book.

Best Ever One-Bowl Oatmeal Muffins

Note: the oats soak in the milk for one hour before adding the rest of the ingredients. Makes 12 medium muffins.

1 C buttermilk

1 C oats

1 large egg, at room temperature

¼ C dark brown sugar

½ C butter, melted and cooled slightly

1 C plus 2 T flour

¼ tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 C dried cherries or cranberries

1/2 C white chocolate chips

Combine buttermilk and oats in a large bowl and let stand one hour.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a twelve-cup muffin tin with Pam for Baking (LOVE that stuff). Crack the egg into the oat and milk mixture; add brown sugar and mix to combine. Stir in melted butter.
